| Rhonda | waaaaaaaah, rt@ubuntu, why the heck do you not take the name I'm sending my mails with but claim that they were sent using my deadname!! | 08:42 |
|---|---|---|
| Laney | oh dear :( | 08:43 |
| Unit193 | Rhonda: Going to guess your name is right on LP too? | 08:43 |
| Rhonda | Unit193: Oh, it's correct there. | 08:44 |
| Laney | it's remembering the name the ticket was started with or something? | 08:47 |
| Rhonda | Laney: It seems to create an entry for every single mail it receives and goes with the data of first encounter. | 08:48 |
| Rhonda | So if I actually would like to play jokes with someone, using a faked from and wait until they are filing their first ticket for them to drive crazy. | 08:49 |
| Unit193 | I'm going to call someone 'Duckmania' and see if they get confused. | 08:49 |
| Rhonda | So even if I log in with Ubuntu SSO and that specific mail address, it still shows me just as "rhonda" with no name set. | 08:51 |
| Rhonda | … but given that I can't seem to be able to update it myself. Well, I guess I'm taking a few steps back from maintaining the packages.u.c website for now, it's not something I currently feel in the state to deal with. :/ | 08:52 |
| Laney | I guess it would be *another* RT to get it fixed by the sysadmins | 08:52 |
| * Laney hugs Rhonda | 08:52 | |
| Rhonda | I've responded to that mail, asking to not be deadnamed … which just triggered another mail to me that did deadname me. >.> | 08:53 |
| cob | Hi, are there any examples of how to make a debian package for a kernel module? maybe using dkms or something? | 16:19 |
| chocorho | Hey | 23:35 |
| chocorho | is anyone online? | 23:35 |
| chocorho | Is this a dead channel | 23:35 |
| teward | ask a real question | 23:35 |
| teward | and maybe you'll get an answerl. | 23:35 |
| chocorho | lol ok ok | 23:36 |
| chocorho | actually nvm, I'm too scared to ask. The answer has got to be out there and I'm just missing it. | 23:38 |
| teward | nah I just come off as harsh is all sorry about that | 23:38 |
| teward | long week and what not :P | 23:38 |
| teward | I will make a note that this channel is far less active than others though, and there may be a more appropriate channel you can get assistance in (and maybe I can help guide where you need to ask) | 23:38 |
| chocorho | well... the thing is, I'm developing a somewhat elaborate game in C++, and (though it's barely in alpha) I've become curious about distribution methods. | 23:42 |
| chocorho | One thing I'm considering is making a .deb file for it (since it's free software) | 23:43 |
| chocorho | I probably just need to read more about making & maintaining packages, but | 23:44 |
| chocorho | for the life of me I can't seem to figure out *where* the game's assets should be placed (I know usr/local/bin will have the game binary, but is there a specific place for a res/ folder?) | 23:44 |
| chocorho | idk, probably a stupid question. | 23:45 |
| teward | chocorho: if you're installing it as a .deb, it'd probably be /usr/lib/ rather than /usr/local/lib/. But this information is up in the Debian Packaging Guide and the Filesystem Hierarchy definitions (which are more or less identical at Debian as they are for Ubuntu) | 23:47 |
| teward | http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html might be of usefulness, as would https://wiki.debian.org/FilesystemHierarchyStandard (I know they're from Debian but they're still relevant) | 23:47 |
| teward | that's usually pretty useful to help ID where *generally* something should be put upon install. | 23:47 |
| teward | but in either case, if you're still looking for some help, I'd suggest waiting a while for the other more experienced individuals to assist :) (Note that this channel is fairly dead around this hour unfortunately) | 23:48 |
| chocorho | ohh ok, thanks | 23:50 |
